Seems perfectly normal... the last hanging shot is over exposing by the +2 or +3EV that you chose and hence will keep the shutter open longer. The video shows the last shot with a 1 second shutter speed and it snaps in about 1 second... again seems normal... Am I missing something?

The way the camera changes the amount of light for HDR is through shutter speed, so to get that last over-exposed shot it needs to hold it open longer. Try bringing the EV values closer together, like o,-1,+1, then the shutter speeds would be less obviously apart, like, 50th,100th,25th. Doesnt sound like you have a problem, my 60d does the same thing with AEB, but I have to add them into an HDR image myself later :-P id die for a 5dIII!or II for that matter

Newbies can buy 5DM3's too, just like 16 year olds given brand new BMWs by their parents when they get their license. Probably not the most ideal way to go, but its their money and time they're expending.

WOW! It is kinda rude to compare someone buying 5D MK III, with 16 year old's getting a brand new BMW from their parents. The guy must have bought it with his hard earned money and has a genuine question ... Show some respect!Just because someone has question about how shutter works in HDR mode does NOT make a person "newbie" .. for all that you know he could a very accomplished photographer but he may have never bothered with HDR, so he has a genuine question. How can you or I judge what is the "ideal way to go" for someone else?

I know. He has a 5dIII and is asking THIS question.... hmph, wish I had money

What is wrong with that question? Just because he owns 5D MK III does not mean he needs to know every technicality about HDR photography ... there are plenty of accomplished photographers who never use HDR function.

True true. He did say he didnt notice the 1 second shutter speed. He may not have realized that HDR works by combining 3 exposures.

When I first joined the local photographic society there were a couple of photographers with really fancy equipment (stuff that I could only dream of owning) ... they used to ask some seemingly stupid questions ... and I used to doubt their intelligence and talent (I even made fun of one of them behind their backs), until one day I saw some of their images of football games and birds ... man was I blown away by those pics ... that was almost 6 years ago, if I can take the same kind of quality shots today, I would be might proud.
